‘Incident is regrettable’: Air India suspends staff after A320 flew without safety certificate

Air India has suspended personnel after admitting that an Airbus A320 aircraft flew multiple times in November 2025 without a valid Airworthiness Review Certificate (ARC) — a mandatory safety document. The airline described the lapse as “regrettable,” reported the breach to the regulator DGCA, and initiated an internal investigation. The aircraft has been grounded, and the DGCA has launched a probe. The incident raises serious concerns about adherence to aviation-safety protocols and internal compliance mechanisms within one of India’s largest carriers. (Business Today)
